Top Gjirokastra Castle Hotel Reviews

Hotel Vale

10/10 Excellent

"Great location - fabulous sea view and lovely large balcony room."

Julia Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, only 5-10 minutes walk from the centre, yet quiet and peaceful. Easy but limited parking on site. They also have a small garage they let us use. The pool is not heated but in mid-Sept was still warm enough to use for a brisk swim. Our room 202 was huge, with spa bath in one corner. The bathroom was also a good size with walk-in shower enclosure. Unfortunately, the glass shower screen and a glass wall panel were both cracked and the toilet brush was broken and wrapped in a shower cap to prevent leakage. Obviously have issues with metal corrosion. Also had a minor ant infestation in the bathroom. Great view from our balcony, although we could only use half of it as they were storing something on it. Breakfast buffet is served on the roof terrace and was okay but not great. You can order fresh coffee and they will serve it to your table. We dined at the hotel on our final evening and wish we had done so before. The food and service were both excellent (Thank you, Laura!) and great value - better and cheaper than eating in town. Recommend."

DREAM HOTEL SARANDA

10/10 Excellent

"Was súper comfy bed. We sleept so good! Friendly stuff ! Thank you !!’"

Bougainville Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely recommend the double deluxe sea view room!!! Beautiful views and beautiful room. Staff are lovely. Near halal food and supermarket across the road Only around 10/15 mins walk from main strip"

Grand Hotel Saranda

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is lovely and staff is very nice."

Litan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay due to the service of all of the staff which was amazing, very welcoming and accommodating. Everything was as presented online and the views were breathtaking. The only criticism we would make is the breakfast which was a bit limited to our taste however the staff were accommodating when requests were made. Overall would recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to visit Sarande!"

Hotel Real

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel"

Sunset Shoreline Saranda Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful, spacious, modern rooms. Great shower. Stunning view from the room, pool and restaurant. Truly breathtaking. The only two drawbacks for me were: The location: far up a hill with nothing nearby. As someone without a car, I’m glad I was only staying one night because taxis in Albania are expensive. At the same time, you can’t get that view without being high up. If you have a car or ample budget for taxis (35-40 euros round trip) you might not mind as much! The restaurant: Dinner at the restaurant was not great. I had the chicken risotto and ended up eating around the chicken. Drinks were good. Wine was great. And breakfast was really great!"

Hotel Edola

10/10 Excellent

"Emplacement juste à la frontière de la promenade de Saranda. Tout ce fait à la marche. Excellent restaurant de sushis à 2 minutes à pied. La piscine et l’endroit déjeuner sont un plus et offrent une superbe vue. Le lit est confortable et la chambre respire vue sa grandeur. N’hésitez pas!"
